The address resolved is in '''Masbate''' area. This is is more than
'''140km''' away.
The address also resolved to '''county:Carles''', which is part of
'''Iloilo''' Province, of the Panay island.
The northern part of islands Negros and Panay, PH ... seem to resolve to
Masbate (an island and a province/region away).
Various zoom levels yield the same result.
Thanks and regards,
Dex
